Thanks for the comments! Now I fixed the typos (hope to have got them all, English isn't my first language), clarified the chain part a bit, and fixed the link. There probably is a better way to reference that source code part with the genesis blocks hashs, in a way that doesn't need to be changed,

Thank you for incorporating the feedback, specifically thank you for using the genesis block hash as the unique chain ID. I wen't through the BIP draft and left a few of comments, but I really like its simplicity and focus. Good work! On Sun, Nov 15, 2015 at 3:14 AM, Marco Pontello via bitcoin-de
